- Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman presented closing arguments for the state in the trial of Katherine Magbanua in the murder of acclaimed Florida State law professor Dan Merkel.
Mental note to self: Don't commit a crime in her jurisdiction.
Miss cappleman is not only beautiful but the best prosecutor ever !! 👏👏👏👏👏
She is but I’m sure she wants Wendi because she knows she the one sending her crazy narcissistic mom all her divorce papers!! She new her mom hated Dan and always take care of her kids as her dad did with Charlie he should’ve never got a license but he’s bf Wendi god got him he’s license so they cheat on taxes it why they money locked up safe they was corrupted and her god father judge should be investigated also the state attorney from Dan state he was friends with Wendi god father it why took he said he didn’t they was involved so I’m glad they he retired and the new team did the job it was because of the corruption of judge lawyers and that state attorney if not Wendi would’ve never raised those boy that state who retired is reason why it took years I don’t understand why Dan parents haven’t sue him
look up Juan Martinez, Arizona prosecutor,,,, he's the best!!!!!!
Cappleman is amazing, Sarah is a close second. And they both get better with every trial. Another Adelson trial starts next week.
Ms Cappleman's closing was exceptional both lucid and effective. She is an excellent attorney.
@@evernit
🙃
Of course, she's an attorney. She has to be an attorney to present cases before the court.
Just because she's an asst DA doesn't mean she's not a member of the bar.
like most prosecutors now paid by Soros
I agree with you. She was very good
@@mortalclown3812 you make no sense

Georgia Cappleman does a great job here. No frills. No theatrics. No tricks.
Just a thorough job. She's done all the groundwork.
Wait until she nails Wendi's ass. It may take years, but Georgia will not stop until she gets them all. She is relentless and I can tell by the way she questioned her, she's building her case.

🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love her also, but if you want to see an awesome attorney, watch the opening statement by prosecutor in the Chandler Halderson trial. Perfection!!
GC seems like she’s reading someone else’s closing. Like she delegated the task to someone in her office and is presenting that. In my opinion.
But I do love her and I think she’s an ass kicker!
@@babyboomer56 Can't Wait 🙄
Georgia always does an excellent job! She’s so impressive.
Georgia is a pro. Her closing arguments were well presented.
Beyond brilliant! All for Justice for Dan and his loved ones! RIP Dan 🌹
Unfortunately, she is terribly annoying to listen to. Far too much whine and high school girl pitches in her voice. She won the case and that’s great but I wouldn’t call her a pro, she not particularly articulate.
@@Nowlflr You really think the pitch of her voice disqualifies her as a professional? She has been at it for twenty years and I don’t know her rate of convictions but all Prosecutors win at better than ninety percent and I’m sure she does also.
I like her accent and voice but that is irrelevant to her professionalism.
@@Nowlflr Disagree. Despite her high intelligence she sounds relatable. Especially for the people of North Florida.
@@Nowlflr your attitudes are actually gross. God forbid a woman’s voice sounds like…a woman’s voice. Women with higher pitch voices aren’t taken seriously in their jobs every single day because of archaic attitudes like yours- they are perceived as ‘whiny’, ‘nasally’, ‘schoolgirl’- how is it that you’ve managed to use _schoolgirl_ as an insult? Their ideas are dismissed. Clients, customers, patients and fellow colleagues, staff or bosses don’t take them seriously and disregard, dismiss, ignore, or even degrade their expert opinions, yet readily accept exactly the same expert ideas or opinions from a male colleague with a deeper voice.
How many times have you suggested that an expert make professional such as a prosecutor is annoying & impossible to listen to because his voice is too deep, too low, that he sounds like a human trombone?
I suggest that there’s nothing wrong with Ms Capplemans’ voice, and everything wrong with your small-mindedness & parallel big-mouthedness.
Thank Mr.Geiger for looking out his window, after he heard a loud noise coming from Dan's home. Those 10-14 seconds seeing a green Prius speed away solved this case. Without the next door neighbor getting up from his sofa, this case is most likely still a unsolved murder (cold case ).
Exactly!! It's a good lesson to get to know your neighbors, and if you see or hear something, call 911 immediately. Too many people blow it off, or post that stuff on social media or Ring Neighbors instead of calling 911 with what details just happened. Too many times, people hear a loud bang or screaming and do nothing. This neighbor is a hero, along with everyone else working this case.
Totally agree
You are exactly right. Don't guess it would have made a difference, but it sure took them (ems) a while to get there
Not necessarily. What really cracked the case was sfriedo's call to Harvey adleson
@@SEOdork4hire that was good evidence that Garcia didn't know Charlie, but they never would have been monitoring phone calls of the Adelsons had the Prius not been identified
All of the Adelson’s should go to trial!
They should all be sent to jail
100% agree with you!!
Have you ever noticed evil people attract like minded cohorts? Look at the difference in class status here, and yet they all worked together in unison. Fascinating to watch...
And Grandma would be my first on the witness stand!!! 🙄
I used to think - because of the other Adelsons' resistance to bringing it up with Harvey - the dad might not have known. But all those payments to KM indicate otherwise. Everyone but the oldest brother is absolutely guilty.
Charlie's weakness was that he thought it was cooler to be a tough guy bad man than a goody-two-shoes dentist.
Yes...Unfortunately the pervasive desire to be a cool tough guy is all too prevalent in today's society.
His weakness is his arrogance/ego - having a life of privilege and having never been told no growing up.
Natural born criminal
Hey! I'm a goody-two-shoes professor. I don't have a fancy car nor specially cool friends but my brother in law is alive and well and I'm not in prison. So there's that.
What’s a goody two shoes dentist?
Guilty. Justice was served. Charlie you're up!
All work is not done until Charlie is "behind bars" for the next 40 years.. Do you know why Markle is dead?
@@scottbaseball8046 Of coarse.
⚖️ Justice for Dan Markel 🙏
This prosecutor is a beast!! She nailed this case to the wall for the jury. Those wire taps in the restaurant buried Katie. It will also bury Mr. Charlie when his trial starts.
Exactly. This prosecutor is amazing and is picking these evil people off, one by one. Donna, you're next. I'm guessing Georgia will save Wendi for last. Woo hoo!!! Get the popcorn ready as there is much more evidence the prosecutor has that will likely be shared at each trial, with each compounding on top of the last until all of these evil people are locked away for life.
This prosecutor is blah…. she was lucky evidence was there…otherwise, as a juror, I would be like…why should I be invested if a prosecutor isn’t??
Agree - she's crap for such a major case. Very bland.
One guilty from the evidence presented, one more after. Domino falling one by one
@@polishgrlinvegas blah? They are lucky? No they worked the case for almost 8 years buddy.
I could watch this closing argument over and over again! It was masterful! Katie knew her goose was cooked after Cappleman argued and PROVED every step of the conspiracy! Katie is guilty as sh**! GUILTY!!! Life in prison!!!! Good job prosecution team!!!
I watch it over and over also. Looking forward to the trial!
It's been 8 years since the murder wow justice was served.
It will be when Charlie is convicted.
In this trial, yes. But there should be 3 more convictions
Mother and sister too;
Purely evil family👿👿👿
Praying for Dan’s family 🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
@@marshapieroni6677 Hopefully, their will be, real soon.
Georgia for Governor! Brilliant, beautiful woman full of integrity.
Agree, she's brilliant. 👏💯
This is so well deserved. What they did to Dan...so sad, evil. I can't wait for Wendy's turn. 👍
@@EW-uw7dg Me too - more so than even Charlie or their mother.
I SO want to see that smile wiped off her face when she gets life 🤞🙏
@@josimpson7999 💯🙏
She's not going to stop her methodical march toward justice for Dan Markel. As I write this, Charlie is in prison. Found guilty of murder. Donna is in jail awaiting her trial. That'll be a good one. Wendi will likely testify in that trial too. After that point, the tick-tick truly begins for Wendi and possibly Harvey too. This family together conspired to rid themselves of Dan Markel and the perceived problems he was causing them. Such a tragic story for Dan Markel.
⚖️ Justice for Dan Markel 🙏
Agree 💯
How did the 2 Hitmen know Dan's trip to the gym and returning home. WENDI
Yep.
Especially when they claim they didn't use gps during the whole trip. How would they find any of it without directions from someone. Wendi is last in line but it will be so worth it.
They followed Dan from his home that morning. Katie gave them his address
1000 ,% correct she had all the daily info on Dan... that Charlie did not have....she was the mastermind
Guilty. 3 down. Now 3 more to go. Possibly 4.
I hope the "magnificent seven" are all brought down.
Guilty verdict for KM. Charlie has no chance. The Adelsons are going to lose their son to the Florida State Prison System, unless an expensive team of defense lawyers can hoodwink a clueless jury.
I'm still curious about who paid for KM's attorneys; the judge in this trial said he was convinced it wasn't the Adelsons.
Agreed, since Katie is found guilty there can be no other verdict for Charlie!
Wasn't KM appointed an attorney? Even when broke, you still have an attorney, don't you?
@@scottbaseball8046yes but the attorney she had shares an office with Charlie's attorney, Daniel Rashbaum. Not sure if it was this trial or her first trial but thats what was brought up that's why they think she still didn't talk, SOMEONE OR SOME FAMILY convinced her thay since she got a hung jury the first time around, that there's no way she would ever be convicted, so there's no reason for her to talk.
Very impressive; very passionate closing.
Great job!
💯👏🏆
Can't wait for Wendy's turn. 🔥
Here after Charlie Adelson’s verdict 👏🏼👏🏼 Also love that Georgia is wearing the same suit as closing statements today!
Was confusing
The amount of work that goes into these trials is impressive 👏
Really?
All roads lead back to Wendi. Waiting patiently.
💯
Wow...what a true professional the lady is.
This closing just proves that Donna knew about everything. Why would she tell Charlie this tv is going to cost about 5. She clearly knew. Pls arrest Wendi and Donna.
very soon, lets hope
Jayce. Yes I agree 💯 percent.
TVs don't cost $5,000 today. The prosecutor said she needs more evidence against Wendi and her mom to prosecute. Its frustrating
@@looking4things669 yes with any luck someone will talk, so they can get them all to trial. It would be worldwide news/ interest! Like OJ was.
Why weren’t Wendy’s parents questioned ?
because they have lots of money, lots of money can buy lots of protection.
Because they had lawyers that told them to shut up. You can't force people to answer questions
Wendi testified that her parents would testify for this trial if they had been asked. Why would we have any reason to not believe her? 😂😂😅😅😆😆😆
They lawyered up and the prosecutor said she doesn't have enough evidence to prosecute at this time. She said they'll be working on it.
Because if they were asked to testify they would get immunity. I believe the state did this on purpose because they know they were eventually going to go after DA and CA. They will get Wendy too, that’s why they were careful in there questioning with WA
Miss Cappelman is amazing. So proud of her and her co prosecutor, Miss Dugan. They're coming for you Donna and Wendi.
Dona receives a letter from Dan via court about having supervision while with children then Dona goes crazy and put the plan in action.
Dona is as guilty as Garsia.
Wendi is the actual mastermind. Her trial will be last, and she will be last to be arrested, Donna will be next.
Yep. That was the last straw for Donna. It's strange they used TV as their code word
I think Donna was pushing the whole thing, Wendy had to be involved and Knowledgeable. I'm just wondering how much Harvey was involved...will he be after Donna? He was at the airport with a one way ticket also
* she told charlie and Charlie put the plan in motion , all 4 Adelsons are guilty
Best line in the entire trial "Don't let them think the way they would get away with this case, be the way they get away with this case"...
I loved hearing Georgia say "I fuck bitches up for no reason" 😂😂
oh- i never heard that! That would be golden!😂
Very well done. I was impressed.
Indeed...
I enjoyed your wonderful sense of humor in the chat yesterday
I get defense attorney has a job to do, but to personally mock and ridicule the prosecutor is inappropriate and unprofessional. There is no need for that. Defend your case with dignity not cheap shots! Her client sat on the stand and got amnesia except when her lawyer examined her. How convenient!
Also, once her client was found guilty, because she was guilty, the defense attorney was crying. Crying because she lost her case? What about Dan Markel and his family? What about Dan’s two little boys?
Was she crying for them?
@@2034916 she was crying for herself knowing her close will be viewed by future potential clients who will never be clients
@@Franciscasieri I have a different take. Kate is not her main client. The person paying for Kate is. That's what she is worried about.
Not to mention accusing the Prosecutors of unethical behavior.
@@dakalodk interesting...very possible
This prosecutor is simply amazing. Well done! Put them ALL away!
Georgia Cappleman : Attorney extraordinaire. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Three down and three to go.
Guilty as charged!!!!
Georgia is uh-may-ZING, amazing.
Georgia we love you!
This Prosecutor has a totally amazing mind.
I love her red suit, the power color! What a clear and plain closing argument, it cannot be misconstrued.
👌👏🎯
Why hasn't Wendys mother been charged. She's obviously involved. Wendi also knew what was going to happen.
They are building the cade.
She is next after her son.
Obviously Wendi gave them the day and time to kill Dan;
Wendi knew Dan was going to see his girlfriend in NY the following day:
Wendi passed this information on so the murder could be completed…
One year later. Charlie in for life. Donna Sue in solitary awaiting trial. Come on Wendi!
Prosecutor is wearing a power color. Love it!
Kudos to these wonderful Prosecutors fighting for justice for Dan Markel ….I just feel so sad for his children to have lost their Dad at such a young age …. I hope this whole entitled family responsible for this horrible crime get their day in court and get to move into a new residence JAIL FOR LIFE…..
When are Donna and Wendi getting arrested?
She's so good....first class 👌
This case might never have been solved if Garcia and Rivera had taken U.S. 27 instead of Alligator Alley.
Do you know who really solved this case? Is was Dan's next door neighbor when he looked out his window and saw that green Priius speeding away. That was huge and got the ball rolling. Think God for that man. Give him an award.
@@scottbaseball8046 Yes, clearly. My comment was directed towards a critical choice that the killers made, which allowed law enforcement to trace the vehicle to them.
Good prosecutor, very professional, straight and sharp. Job well done Georgia, now go get the others! 👍
Awesome work shabbat shalom
Shabbat shalom
Cogent, laser direct, polished, calm and annihilating.
Katherine knew it was done because Wendi had to go see for herself. Wendi told them there is Police tape up.
Tell me why when Georgia Cappleman can give a closing argument based on the facts and nothing personal. And do such a brilliant job. That then the Defense can spend so much time on Kattie personally. I really don't understand how her being a single mother or how long she has been in jail and didn't plea should matter! It is NOT evidence, yet they tried it last time and it worked. The jury was hung, and it almost worked again. It was Georgia's rebuttal that made it very clear that the jury's decision should have NOTHING to do with any of Kattie's personal situations. I'm so thankful that THIS jury listen to Georgia because after hearing what one person on the jury said that they spent some time on the issue of Kattie being locked up for so long and not taking a plea. None of that should've even been brought up by the Defense, so idk if this is something Florida allows. At the end of the day justice was served. I'm looking forward to Charlie's case.
What else is the defense going to say? Katie is evil and guilty of murder.
It's all they had. Play on sympathy.
Carl Stenbeck will be doing an interesting talk on this matter on Aug 15th 2023. It's called AdelsonGate. It will definitely be worth a look. I'm hoping that they will be covering a lot of documentation and hard facts on this case. Ytube of course.
I hope you win. State, that is. I am sorry, I don’t want to spell your name wrong!🇺🇸🇨🇦💔💔
Guilty
Why is Katie still protecting these people? They don't care about her life her children
Brilliant prosecutor! I’m glad the jury got it right this time.
Georgia is GREAT. Nothing but respect for her.
Excellent! A work of art.
She did an amazing job! Stating the facts . I love when she said they aren’t her friends, or her husbands friends! Charlie’s stapled money, 😅the tv code and the appointment made the same day is so damming! Praying for the markel family.
That poor man (Dan Merkel). How very sad. 💔
The most amazing attorney, that prosecutor.
#JusticeforDanMarkel
Very helpful. Thank you.
It is AWESOME THE PROFESSIONAL WORK DONE ON THIS CASE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.
INCREDIBLE, EVEN INTIMIDATING, CLOSING ARGUMENT.
The news media is at its all time best in this case.
The Markel Family was in Canada and divorcing themselves.
WITHOUT THE EXTENSIVE NATIONAL NEWS MEDIA COVERAGE, THE MURDERING ADELSONS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT.
So many paper trails - phone records, bank deposits, checks, hotel rentals, car rentals…then there’s the phone pings. So easy to tie everyone together.
Its hard for me to believe that the killing of Dan Markel would happen soley on the actions Charlie and Donna. This was the kids father that was murdered and that leads me to believe that Wendeye was the one that "pulled the trigger" and greenlit the murder.
Absolutely! That murder did not happen without her blessing.
Agree. Wendi twisted everything around to disparage Dan , causing him havoc and to force him to defend himself constantly
Great description of magbanua: it’s like trying to nail jello to the wall!
Cant wait for the day Wendy gets caught
Georgias nonverbals and expressions when she’s mocking Katie’s responses are so fun and drive the point home in such a resonant way “What was your jobbbb !!?” 👀🤷♀️🤷♀️ “ I know it looks like I’m right in the middle of this “ 😮
She is a good looking and brilliant woman. Her dad was a great QB at FSU.
These court rooms and lawyers need to get their mic positioning and volume in check.
Georgia is simply awesome👌🏿!
She's awesome. Admit it.
God Bless Dan & his family! I pray they get his brother in law & his ex wife & whoever else might have been involved!🙏🙏🙏
Brother-in-law, check ✔️
Mother-in-law, in jail awaiting trial
Ex-wife, "Stay tuned" is a quote from Georgia Cappleman 😊
It makes sense that WENDI is how KM knew the murder had already happened. SHE (Wendi) was the one who drove by the crime scene. So that seems like a no-brainer.
Yes. Isn't it odd that Wendi has no phone calls brought out yet? Either she used Whatapp for everything or they just haven't brought that testimony in yet. Very telling.
Don't ever get married.
Men, this is what happens when we fight for our children 😤. There was like 6 people involved in killing this man
Actually 7. But yes.
Don't call it the Dan Markel trial cause that's going to generate a lot of confusion after all the trials are concluded. There's going to be like 4 or 5 "Dan Markel trial".
WOW, GREAT CLOSING ARGUMENT!
You can't talk about rocky Graziano without talking about rocky Marciano
I'm so annoyed, why aren't WA,DA being charged ....if you have money it's a different judicial system for sure...guilt exudes from Wendy, she states she had no idea,ya OK...
Luis Rivera despite his terrible past came forward and told the truth, there is no reason for him to lie in this case. But Wendy Adelson has no
humanity, same as Katherine Magbanua, to both of them: Please have guts like Luis Rivera, admit your wrongdoing and ask God for forgiveness, someday you too will die, we all do, so repent and admit and expose Charli's guilt. I know for Wendy, to tell the truth, is a very tough decision because she love's her brother, but please tell the truth.
I suspect Rivera had no idea of and is subsequently extremely angry at Magbanua for facilitating the murder with people from the 'other side of the hood'. Rivera has likely 'got away' with many criminal acts for years due to his affiliation with other 'street smart' individuals and the Latin Kings. The Adelson's are not street smart, although Charlie, while stapling his $100 bills and driving around in his Ferrari, likes to think he is also 'street smart' 🤣 and would have portrayed this to his family and friends. His connections alone do not warrant this title, far from it. Wendi and Donna have fallen hard for this!
He had a death penalty case hanging over him so he had plenty of reason to lie but he did not have to.
Kawass said in her closing that Rivera paid his mum's rent for a year and gave money to his sister with his payment. Katie bought new boobs and kept asking for more gifts.
Excellent prosecutor!
Love the presentation
Ppl can call LR stupid and crazy and everything else.
I call him a genius. He wasn't so stupid after all. He's the only that will 1 day get out of prison.
Agree.
14:18 Was Georgia's way of giving Charlie a good ole head's up, here's your sign! She wasn't bluffing either, we all know where Charlie is😁😉
Great job G. C.! You are truly the lady in red.
I think they operating in proper order Wendi's brother, mother, father then the final prize! And I'm elated Wendi will experience the same agony as Dan's mother during the WAIT for justice to prevail. She will NEVER giggle, sleep or laugh without a nervous twitch!
If they had any sense they’d leave the country.
@@marriejames01they got cash but no sense
What must have been going through the minds of Katie and the defense?
Karma is back on the menu! More jumpsuits for Katie 🤔
Has anyone else noticed Charlie being so wealthy, educated and so on would always date women who were the complete opposite: drug addicts, ex convicts, poor, not educated. And for some reason, Donna didnt seem to care but she cared about Wendis husband being the father of her grandchildren. Danny was a professional and respected, wealthy family man. Makes no sense.
Donna helped Wendi to choose Dan because he was Jewish and checked the other requirements the family had. But he turned out to actually BE Jewish and not in name ONLY, as the Adelsons are. So much of what the Adelsons despised Dan for was his being too Jewish and too serious about his faith and the way he wanted his sons raised.
@@cathyprosser1050 well we know that, but that doesn’t have anything to do with what I said in my comment above.
Also, you think the family didn’t know Danny was very strict and religious before the wedding? Come on 😂 there’s gotta be something else to this case. The whole thing makes no sense. Smells fishy.
Guilty
Moral: File detailed pre-nuptials, laying out precise, negotiated agreements regarding any & all children of the proposed marriage---medical, educational, religious---negotiate all such things, but, also, negotiate where the children (if any) should live, with whom, for what lengths of time.
Might avoid a lot of strife, even murder, down the road.
Might even cause a prospective couple to rethink getting married---and, imo, that's okay. It's too easy to get married--all the mess & heartbreak come later.
If only everyone did this prior to marriage. I mean can you imagine the decrease in crime?!
I think you mean post nuptials or a detailed Separation Agreement.
Both were attorneys- why no prenup?
Georgia rules!!!!!
Markel [not Merkel]
Even Wendi spelled it wrong.
🇺🇸 Message to our great prosecutors -- Georgia and Sarah. 😇 Please offer Katie, Garcia, and Charlie each - independent "sweet" plea-deals 🍰 to "fess up" and testify to the complete truth ! 🔥 Only the snake that bites first gets the deal. I believe It is well worth-it to get ALL the co-conspirators. 👺
this attorney is a blessing ! she articulate ! brilliant! women she shows compassion for the victim In her closing ! Dan did a heroic move by discharging grandma Adelson ! that was landmark move! grandma stripped of her role ! Genius ! grandma was revengeful ! 😊
When your dream girl is also the best prosecutor in this entire enormous state. JUSTICE...
JUST, US, RIGHT?
Karma coming for the Adelsons!!!
A better defense than feigned ignorance is “Dan forced me!!” But her blood money was contingent on her keeping quiet,, I guess
Exactly...the blood money went to the sister CRIMINAL (Breaking Bad) defense team that guaranteed NO PLEA.
The Florida bar should open a formal investigation and trace the funds. Disbarrment is justice for Dan.
Charlie's next. Then Wendi.
Those hospital/autopsy pictures are pretty brutal. I found all of them un-redacted in her appeal summary. Had to comb thru 5,000 pages but I found them. Very sad
An eloquent, sharp as a tack Prosecutor. Exemplary result Georgia Cappleman.
Rest in Peace, Dan!! Hoping that Donna, Charles, and Wendi Adelson should be put in jail... Together with these three murderers, Luis, Garcia & Katie. These people should not be given a chance to roam around for the rest of their lives and be rotten in their cell.
Excellent summary by this attorney; I laughed out loud when listening to the part about the trying to get one another to call “the number”, sounded like a 3-ring circus 🎪 🤡 😵💫Justice for Dan Markel 🙏
Georgia!
Shit I ain’t committing any murders in America any time soon they’re police is too good!! 😝
katy had nothing to do with this murder. Just ask her!
She never lies. She is a paragon of truth
